Electroacoustic piece done as an assignment for my Master's module. Soundscape recordings taken from Christchurch Cathedral in Dublin comprise the musical material for the work.
The piece mirrors the recording process that created the work. It starts off inside the church, tranquil, spacious, but eerie. A sudden loud sound of the door opening into the cathedral echoes and reverberates in the space, waking me from my contemplation, and alerting me to the presence of the sounds from the noisy city outside trying to creep in. There is a clash between the two worlds, both vying for power. Eventually, the recordist steps outside, and is greeted by spaciousness, ambience with birds singing and wind blowing in the trees. The church bells ring, and through the thick can be heard the sound of the choir singing inside.

The Language of Opposites

Recordings taken of kitchen utensils while suffering from Covid battle it out to see who will be the last remaining contestant in Takeshi's Kitchen.  The piece follows the structure of the World Cup, starting from group stages, each sonic element fighting to make it to the next stage. Coupled with this World Cup structure is a subtle sub-structure that metaphorically follows the creation of metal, from its origins in fire, to its use as an object, to its final disintegration back to scraps to be forged again.
